Randall Hauch commented on JBIDE-6654:
--------------------------------------
I'm perfectly interested in finding terminology that fits better into the JBoss Tools
eco-system, as long as that new terminology is an appropriate match for the capabilities
and semantics of ModeShape. ModeShape and Guvnor/BRMS are not equivalent: Guvnor/BRMS is
a rules management system, whereas ModeShape is really a repository system. Any
Guvnor/BRMS installation only comes with a single JCR repository, so with Guvnor/BRMS the
term "repository" could be used synonymously with the part of Guvnor/BRMS
running on a single server.
The server-side component of ModeShape that will be deployed in SOA-P (or any other app
server for a non-product installation), however, contains multiple repositories. When
connecting to a repository, you have to specify the SOA-P server instance (or cluster) AND
the name of the repository AND the workspace. This is why the ModeShape plug-in view has a
hierarchy: the view shows (zero or more) servers, each server contains (one or more)
repositories, each repository contains (one or more) workspaces. The term
"repository" can't mean all of these things, and in fact
"repository" and "workspace" are very important concepts in JCR and in
ModeShape. The term "server" I'm sure is overused, so I'm willing to
consider alternatives (tho I can't think of a single good alternative ATM). But we
chose the term "server" because we use it when referring to a SOA-P
installation/cluster. Is this not compatible with other uses of 'server' within
the SOA-P tooling?
As for the view name, I'm certainly okay with changing it to "ModeShape
Repositories". IMO "Repositories" is a bit problematic considering there
may be other views with the same name. Perhaps you don't think that's a issue?
Rename ModeShape Servers view to avoid further confusion with
overloaded term "server"

Key: JBIDE-6654
URL:
https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-6654
Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
Issue Type: Feature Request
Components: modeshape
Affects Versions: 3.2.0.M1
Reporter: Brian Fitzpatrick
Assignee: Dan Florian
Fix For: 3.2.x
The ModeShape Servers view provides one more overloaded use of the word
"Server". Perhaps do what was done for the Teiid Designer's server view and
simply call it "ModeShape"?
